Hi y'all!
I'm Gabby and my cat's name is Zack. I also have a bunny named Murky.
I got Zack very recently. I started noticing him wandering around my neighborhood about 2 weeks ago. One of my neighbors had just moved out, and I'm pretty sure that they had a cat, so I'm guessing that they left him when they moved (grr!). I felt bad for him, so I left some leftover chicken out for him after the second time I saw him, and he immediately started hanging around my house exclusively (imagine that, lol). He's so friendly and super cuddly, and I fell in love immediately. After a few days, I started letting him stay inside, so I guess I have a cat now. Cat and bun are getting along great, so yay!
I'm really here because I know next to nothing about cats and I was hoping y'all could answer a few questions.
1. I've noticed Zack wheezing a few times after we've been playing. It's noting dramatic, just a few breaths that sound a bit strange. Should I be worried?
2. I have Zack set up with 2 small bowls, water and food, but over the last 2 days, he's been flipping them over and getting food/water all over. Any clue why or how to stop it?
3. Do cats regulate their own food intake or do I need to control how much food I give him? I've been putting about 1/4 cup dry food and 3 tbsp wet food in his bowl 3 times a day.
4. Does he need a cat tree? Finances are a bit tight, so I'm hesitant to shell out $40-$50 on a cat tree, but I will if he needs it.
Thanks for all of your help and sorry for asking so many questions!
